RED CARPET STEEZE: B.E.T. AWARDS 2010

In my humble opinion, this year's B.E.T. awards was THE best awards I've seen in years. If you missed it, you can watch some of the performances over at NecoleBitchie.com.

As far as fashion goes, I felt everyone was either trying too hard or not trying hard enough. Take a look at some of the fashion stars AND fashion failures of last night.

Nicki Minaj looked Madonna-esque in this "Like A Virgin" inspired 2004 Olivier Theyskens for Rochas tulle bustier gown. Eh...I don't know about this. It definately made a statement. I just don't know exactly what that statement is....*scratches head*

Whatever Ms. Alani "La La" Vazquez has been sippin on, I want a drink! The girl has been hitting the red carpet scene with fierce fabulosity lately. I'm loving this black sequined cowl neck dress. HAUTE!!

OH NICKI, OH MY: SHOES TO DIE FOR

OH ME OH MY!! Rapper Nicki Minaj steps out and sticks a pinkie toe into fashion stardom at the New Jersey 's Summer Jam 2010!!

Nicki...those shoes. That dress. The hair. Love all of the elements but well.......we'll get to that in a minute. Of course, we all know the dress is Versace. We've seen variations of it this dress on celebs such Ciara.

Now onto the shoes. . . . .

SHOE-SATIONAL: JIMMY CHOO ZAPPA SANDALS

You want to make a lasting impression on every room you enter and exit? Try these Jimmy Choo Zappa Sandals! Retailing at $2,495.00, these pretty babies have a non-rechargeable battery that lights up the neon-pink, white and black lucite platform, a neon-yellow, black and white lucite heel, an open toe, suede straps and a back zip fastening. The battery is non-replaceable and will last for approximately 100 hours of constant, continuous use. I don't think anyone would be wearing these 5 inch heels for anywhere close to 100 hours of constant use, so you could probably get a lot of usage out of these.

They've caught the eyes of rapper Nicki Minaj and young mogul and fashionista, Angela Simmons. Nicki wore them on a recent appearance and Angela tried them on a recent trip to NYC. They took to Twitter to show them off. If these are in your price range, you can purchase them at Net-A-Porter.com.
